Young George Brown. son OF the Georgia
senator, speaking about what Atlanta
would do for the president next month,
says: It will be the biggest thing of its
kind that has ever taken place in our
state. The crowd will be tremendous. We
will do all that can be done to make his
visit one long to be remembered. and I
am sure the president will not meet with
a much heartier reception anywhere on
his trip. About ten miles from Atlanta
we will give the finest display OF fireworks
in honor of the president ever Witnessed.

A few instances out of a multitude
will suffice to show the way in which the
government is In the habit Of dealing
with its servants. An officer. who has
since risen to the highest rank in the
service, was for many years engaged in
explorations upon the plains. After a
particularly long and severe trip. he
turned in his transportation to a quarter
master in Texas. Upon investigation it
was found that a mule collar was miss
ing. but this was thought nothing Of at
the time. such losses being inevitable in
the course Of a long trip. This occurred
in 1852. In 1867 a letter was received
by the officer in question, then a major
general. asking what disposition he had
made of that mule collar, and requesting
its immediate return. No attention was
paid to this missive, and the correspond
ence ceased for the time being. but in q
few months another epistlc Of like
tenor came to hand, and TO this
day demands are made at in
tervals for the surrender of the
mule collar which was lost upon
the stakcl plains in 1852. At least
twenty letters have been written the gen.
eral of the army concerning a trace chain
which he had upon his papers when sta
toned in California in 1S4s. and which
it is alleged he never accounted for. but
presumably converted TO his own uses.-

A DOGS ~sELF-SAcRIFice.
How a venturesome Lad Was saved
from the Jaws of . shark.

A southern paper prints the following
moving story Of sublime self-sacrifice by
a dog-a fine large Newfoundland. A
camping party on the coast of Georgia,
near Savannah, had been amusing them
selves by swimming in the hay. and n
yentlrcsome lad named Charlie Butler
had swan much farther, and staid
longer than the rest. The writer. who
WAS the owner of the dog, dressed HIM
self. and was busy at the camp ground
preparing supper when he heard an
alarm.
A sudden outcry told me something
was going wrong OF the shore. Grab
bing a rifle and fastening back, with
Carlo at my heels, I beheld Butler some
distance away. swimming with all his
might. and only a few yards behind him
the vertical fin Of a huge shark. There
seemed no possibility that the boys
lie could he saved: We were without
boats. and fish and man We're 80 nearly

In a second Black Carlo, co~mprchending
the situation. dashed through the surf,
and started to swim toward Charlie with
a speed | have never seen cqualed 10y any
land animal. The boy, having lcisurely
covered most Of the distance between the
reef and the shore when the man eater
started after him, was comparatively
fresh, and, when he saw the noble dog
fastening to his help. made a final des-
perate effort to escape. In another in
slant Carlo was close TO him.
Just then. however. the shark. having
come near enough. turned So that we
could ac his white belly gliStcuing in the

A Night signal Lantern.

A successful test Of the Oatman night
signal lantern was made in New York the
other night by officers of the army and
navy. The common torch. lighted with
lard oil or %turpentine, has heretofore been
used for carrying messages at night bs-
tween far of stations. on board ship as
well as on shore, but the system has
proved untrustworthy. The Oatman Ian
tern Is 50 arranged by a simple mechani-
cal device that flashes Of light an be
shown az desired. These flashes cores
pond with the dash and the dot in the
electric telegraph system, a long flash
corresponding with the dash, and a short
flash with the dot. The lantern is not
more than eighteen inches high, and
eight inches square. A small lamp with
the flame in the focus Of a p~arabolic re.
Hector furnishes the light. Fans close
before the flame, by means of which the
flashes are regulated, according TO the
Morse system Of telegraphy. The flame
is rendered steady by means II a forced
draugbt. The longest distance signaled
has been botween Fort Mycr and Sugar
Loaf mountain, Va, about thirty-fiye
miles; signals have been exchanged be-
tween the reservoir in BROOKLYN and
Sandy Hook. about twenty miles apart.
